In partnership with the New York chapter of the AFLSE (Alumni and Friends of the LSE in the United States), LSE Generate is bringing an eclectic twist to their monthly social gathering – an exclusive reception at the LSE Foundation’s home office in Hudson Yards.

Alumni will enjoy an evening of entertainment with drinks in hand, hearing about the plans we have for NYC as our next international chapter, our alumni offerings beyond borders, and a keynote from alum Dr. Christian Busch, a best-selling author, founder, and a sector-leading scholar in sustainable innovation and leadership.

This event is part of Generate's International Chapters which aim to connect, educate and inspire LSE’s entrepreneurial community by supporting them to build and scale their impact ventures. 12 chapters have been launched across continents with two others in San Francisco and LA.

*The event is open to our current students, alumni, staff and academics (including visiting fellows) with 60 spots made available.

**Please arrive no later than 6:15 PM for the start.

** All guests will need to arrive with an ID and will be checked and admitted by security on the first floor lobby (we will only register confirmed guests on the list for security).
